The configure script calls pcre-config to find pcre however using
nativeBuildInputs for this meant that zsh found the native libraries.
weirdly only pkgsCross.armv7l-hf-multiplatform.zsh was failing and not
pkgsCross.aarch64-multiplatform.zsh
This patch fixes two issues:
1. The file in which environment variables are set is inconsistent.
- This file sets them in zprofile when programs.zsh.enable is not
set.
- Zsh module sets them in zshenv when programs.zsh.enable is set.
2. Setting environment variables in zprofile overrides what users set
in .zshenv. See these[1] home-manager[2] issues[3].
/etc/profile is also changed to /etc/set-environment. Here is a
comparison:
Using /etc/profile:
- Pros
- config.environment.shellInit is sourced in all zsh
- Cons
- config.environment.loginShellInit is also sourced in non-login zsh
- config.programs.bash.shellInit is also sourced in all zsh
- config.programs.bash.loginShellInit is also sourced in all zsh
Using /etc/set-environment:
- Pros
- config.programs.bash.shellInit is not sourced in any zsh
- config.programs.bash.loginShellInit is not sourced in any zsh
- Cons
- config.environment.shellInit is not sourced in any zsh
- config.environment.loginShellInit is not sourced in any zsh

A pregenerated `./configure` script is included with `zsh` release
tarballs which makes it so that `zsh` won't build Git checkouts without
`autoreconfHook`.
There are also other files that were pregenerated and included in
releases so a few other tools are necessary to successfully build `zsh`.
We can also build the docs ourselves instead of using the `docs`
tarball.
This means that users can now easily override the `zsh` derivation:
pkgs.zsh.overrideAttrs (old: {
src = fetchgit {
url = "https://git.code.sf.net/p/zsh/code.git";
rev = "zsh-5.8";
sha256 = "sha256-Gou2UgafLHnZnG2X8DulidOTO1idTQpnZ3DicZuhCZc=";
};
})
With the default configure flags, zsh compiles in a reference to the
"site function" directory that's outside the store path. Under the
right (wrong) circumstances, other builds using zsh can be affected by
these functions.

Since the last time I ran this script, the Repology API changed, so I had to
adapt the script used in the previous PR. The new API should be more robust, so
overall this is a positive (no more grepping the error messages for our relevant
data but just a nice json structure).
Here's the new script I used:
```sh
curl https://repology.org/api/v1/repository/nix_unstable/problems \
| jq -r '.[] | select(.type == "homepage_permanent_https_redirect") | .data | "s@\(.url)@\(.target)@"' \
| sort | uniq | tee script.sed
find -name '*.nix' | xargs -P4 -- sed -f script.sed -i
```
I will also add this script to `maintainers/scripts`.
Instead of searching `/usr` it should search for the `xkb`,
$XDG_DATA_DIRS will be searched. With this approach we allow compliance
on NixOS and non-NixOS systems to find `symbols` in the `xkb` directory.
The patch has been accepted by upstream, but isn't released yet, so this
is mainly a temporary fix until we can bump ZSH to the next stable version.
The `xserver` module links `/share/X11/xkb` to `/run/current-system` to
make this possible.
The fix can be tested inside the following VM:
```
{
zshtest = {
programs.zsh.enable = true;
users.extraUsers.vm = {
password = "vm";
isNormalUser = true;
};
services.xserver.enable = true;
};
}
```
Fixes#46025
From upstream's NEWS:
> Changes from 5.6.1 to 5.6.2

>
> Fix another SIGTTOU case.
>
> Fix SIGWINCH being ignored when zsh is not in the foreground.

> The release tarballs are now compressed using xz(1), whereas previously
> both xz(1) and gzip(1) versions were available. If this gets in your way,

As-is the use of 'configureFlags="..."' breaks cross compilation
as it drops the configure platforms arguments.
Set zprofile separately to handle $out.
